* ScaredOfWhatsBehindYou: When Pod washes ashore on Hațeg Island, it's not long before various beachcombing scavengers try and feed on his unconscious body, thinking he's dead. A flock of ''Ichthyornis'' is scared off by a pack of pygmy dromaeosaurs, but then they're confronted by a group of ''Allodaposuchus'', which are not so easily warded away. The commotion finally awakens Pod, and that sends the crocodilians fleeing, but it takes a few more moments before the mini raptors realize it wasn't them that scared the ''Allodaposuchus'' away.

They're also depicted as strict pack hunters that struggle to survive outside a group, but most current research suggests pack-hunting was opportunistic at best. ''Pyroraptor'' in particular is depicted as a wholesale ''Jurassic Park'' raptor with red or greenish fuzz pasted over it (mostly because the species is known only from fragmentary remains, so its appearance is speculative).

** The large theropods, like the carcharodontosaurs and the adult ''Daspletosaurus'', are only shown with a maximum speed of a brisk amble, even when fleeing for their lives from a volcanic eruption. This was debated at the time, but it's generally agreed now multi-ton theropods would not have been able to run.
** The almost ridiculous width of the titanosaurs is well-researched, as they were very bulky and barrel-shaped sauropods, something not often depicted.
